BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM

Behaviour Support System

All students at Redland Green have the right to learn. Our Ready To Learn system at Redland Green is designed to build on the culture that already exists within the school of achievement, drive and ambition and ensure that all students are able to learn without disruption by:

Putting the emphasis on students to take responsibility for their own learning and behaviour
Eliminating disruptive behaviour from the classroom
Giving staff, students and parents clarity as to classroom expectations and consequences if these expectations are not met
Give staff the freedom to teach in innovative and exciting ways without concern for low-level disruption

RGS ‘5 fundamentals’

Our expectations of behaviour in the classroom are underpinned by our “5 fundamentals”. All students will be aware of these clear and simple expectations:

Arrive to lessons on time ready and equipped to learn - mobile device switched off & in bag
Follow instructions promptly
Listen when others are speaking
Remain on task and complete work to the best of your ability
Polite and respectful to all

How does the Behaviour Support system work from September 2024?

If a student breaks one of the “Five Fundamentals” they will be issued a verbal reminder and their name will be recorded by their teacher.

Should the student break a fundamental for a SECOND time then they will be sent to the Behaviour Support room for the rest of the lesson. Students are expected to make their own way to the Behaviour Support room to complete a reflection sheet and core curriculum work.

Parents will be informed via Class Charts, and the student will need to stay until 16:05 that SAME DAY, during which time they should have a restorative conversation with the staff who referred them.

General (Basic expectations) Detentions

If a student receives a detention for a general behaviour issue, e.g. uniform, equipment, lateness to lesson or mobile device, they will receive an after school detention to be sat the NEXT SCHOOL DAY. This will vary between 30 and 60 minutes dependent on the nature of the incident

Parents are informed via Class Charts. If there is a valid reason why your child cannot attend on the allocated day (e.g. academic tutoring/medical appointment), please let the Behaviour Support Team know and we can reschedule.

Punctuality detentions

If a student arrives late to school AFTER 8.25am they will receive a NEXT DAY 30 minute detention. Parents are informed via Class Charts that their child is expected to attend the 30 minute detention.

Homelearning Intervention

If a student does not complete 2 or more set Homelearnings in one week they will receive a Homelearning Intervention. Parents will be informed via Class Charts, and the 60 minute detention is held in an ICT suite and supported by staff to enable completion of the outstanding learning.

IN ALL DETENTIONS, STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE READING OR WORKING, AND LEARNING RESOURCES SUCH AS REVISION GUIDES ARE PROVIDED.
